Monday Practice notes 10-27-08

Practice notes: Lot of players back
Cornerback Al Harris, receiver James Jones and end Michael Montgomery were among the players who appeared to be close to their usual workload today after extended absences.

Harris (spleen), Jones (knee) and Montgomery (ankle) rotated in during the jog-through portion of practice that was open to reporters, and both seemed to be moving fine, albeit during less-than-full-speed drills.

Safety Atari Bigby (hamstring) also was on the field in pads but didn't do much during the early stages of practice. However, he wasn't on coach Mike McCarthy's list of players who would miss today's session.

Defensive tackle Johnny Jolly was absent. The reason was not immediately available, but it could be related to his pending legal matter in Texas. UPDATE: Jolly has a court date on Tuesday. So, that explains that.
